Peter Taylor Oracle at Stoneleigh Court
Ballantine Books 1993 0345383591 / 9780345383594 Mass Market Paperback Very Good
0345383591 0345383591 From Publishers Weekly These classic short stories and one-act plays, set in rural towns in Tennessee haunted by ghosts and spirits, display Taylor's gracefully nuanced prose and his signature spiritualism. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal It is often said that Taylor's stories are like small novels, but few recent novels create a world as engaging or complete as the 88-page title story of this collection. In this work, the lives of a soldier, the young girl he's pursuing, and his great-aunt become creepily entwined until he is shipped overseas for D-Day. Several years later, the soldier is a reluctant war hero living in Memphis when auntie returns home to die with the nearly forgotten sweetheart in tow. Nearly all the 11 stories are set firmly in Taylor territory: genteel Tennesseans in the first half of this century whose digressive yet compelling stories are usually about the poisonous relationships between generations, often parents and their children. By the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Summons to Memphis ( LJ 10/1/86), this collection includes three one-act plays. For most collections. - Brian Kenney, Brooklyn Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
